M'BILIA BEL - BEYANGA LYRICS
May 11, 2026 - 02:44 PM
Na Silika nakozua eloko nini e(What will I get if I get angry at you?)Na tomboka nakozua reponse nini o(What will I achieve if I become mad at you?)Moto soko akoli na ezaleli banda na bomwana naye(if someone is used to doing something since their childhood)Akoki kosilisa na mokolo moke te tika a sala(He can never stop doing it in his adulthood/he can't change)Nakoswana swana se pamba, ezali motindo na ye(It is useless to quarrel with other women over him because it's his habit)Na ndimaka te nalingi ye, ebongi na vanda na ngai(I don't believe I love him, I deserve to live alone)Libala oyo ba mb...
THE GIFTED SINGER WITH STRIKING CHARM
May 08, 2026 - 02:00 PM
Tall, light in complexion, and handsome, Ignace Mpoyi Kanyinda had a charming look that made him a star attraction in all OK Jazz (OKJ) concerts that he graced. Women scrambled for space to catch a closer glimpse, while some screamed in excitement. That wasn’t all about Djo Mpoyi, however. Behind the looks was a wonderful singer with an expressive high tenor that uniquely laced compositions with emotion. Bolingo ebeti ngai fimbo, oh mama ah, (This love is battering me) Ngai naleli eh, oh mama ah (It makes me cry) Nazangi molongani, oh cheri eh (Deprives me of a confidante) This is an excerpt from the song “Nabali Misere,” which translates to “I am married to......
THE DEATH OF THE MASTERPIECE
May 05, 2026 - 02:00 AM
Let’s be honest: your "Recommended" playlist is starting to feel like a dream you never asked for. You’re scrolling through TikTok, and your favorite influencer suddenly gets caught up in a massive public scandal that has everyone talking. Before the dust even settles, they’re dropping a "club banger" to capitalize on the drama. You hop over to the "Trending in Kenya" tab to see what’s hot, and every single track has that same shiny, predictable beat and a hook that starts before you can even take a breath. It’s not your imagination; we are in a tug-of-war between music that comes from the heart and songs made by a computer program. We’ve traded the......
MUKABI PAINTED HIS WAY TO GLOBAL RECOGNITION
April 30, 2026 - 01:10 PM
The Dust Depo Studios at the Old Railways Museum in Nairobi wear a forlorn face. An unfinished canvas stretches on the stand, waiting for the brush to give it the final touches, oblivious to the reality that the man whose acumen graced the art has breathed his last. The brushes, the paints, and the palette share the ignorance. Just like the canvas, they too have no idea that the man whose passion and skills turned canvases into marvelous paintings is no more and will not be visiting the studios again. Sunset has come for the "barefoot philosopher" who walked without shoes in the studios, saying he couldn't reason well while wearing shoes. Renowned painter Patrick Mukabi died last week at......

FROM STAGE TO PRISON TO STAGE: THE STORY OF NGUZA VIKING
April 22, 2026 - 07:31 PM
A debate on musicians dabbling in crime, whether alleged or actually committed, cannot end without mentioning the story of Nguza Viking, aka Babu Seya, and his son, Papi Kocha. Nguza and his son were both incarcerated in a Dar es Salaam prison in Tanzania for 15 years. The story drew the interest and attention of the entire region, with the international community seeking to intervene. To understand Nguza, we must introduce a band known as Maquis du Zaire. Nguza, also known as Field Marshal, was a lethal soloist with the band. His unique solo guitar can be sampled in the song "Wakati Nilikuwa Mdogo" from the Karubandika album. Maquis du Zaire began in Katanga in the mid-1960s under the......
THE LES MANGELEPA FAMILY IN MOURNING
April 13, 2026 - 04:01 PM

As a versatile guitarist, he played both bass and rhythm, featuring on rhythm guitar in hit songs such as "Mtukufu Moi," "James Osogo," and "Malawi Zikomo." His colleague in the rhythm guitar......

KABAKA: THE KING OF TWIST
April 02, 2026 - 07:02 PM
“Msichana wa Elimu” is a wonderful track by Daudi Kabaka, backed by his Equator Sounds band colleagues and recorded at Equator Sounds. Although he recorded it twice, the original version is a superb song with a great melody and excellent guitar and saxophone work. The theme is also catchy, though it has been overtaken by time. A woman should not get married simply because society wants her to, or because she has reached what is considered the “right age” for marriage. “Mbona watoto wa nyuma yako wameolewa, wamekuwacha ukihangaika?” (How come your younger siblings are all getting married before you?) Apparently, those who dropped out of school to start......
